AAUW-Bethlehem book fair a success

This year, American Association of University Women-Bethlehem is celebrating its 85th anniversary. For 52 of those years, we, with help from many in the community, have held our Bethlehem Branch Book Fair every April.

The proceeds from this annual sale go toward college scholarships for female graduating high school seniors and non-traditional students. This year, we are extremely proud to announce that we are awarding a record number of scholarships to select women.

We are extremely thankful to the following who supported us this year in our sale: the city of Bethlehem; The Morning Call for essential press publicity; Precise Graphics for our sign boards; Wegmans, Elias Market and Weis Markets; the boys from the juvenile probation program; Bethlehem Area School District community service volunteers; Lehigh University's Biology Organization of Graduate Students; Lehigh wrestlers; and many others who gave their time, energy and books to the sale.

Thanks also to our branch members who always give tirelessly and enthusiastically to this event.

Lastly, much gratitude goes to our book fair co-chairs, Linda Robbins and Linda Zimmerman. Without their leadership, the book fair could not have been the success that it was.
